Many people who are getting divorced have never gone through divorce before and therefore, aren’t sure what to expect. Unfortunately, they often make mistakes that can end up being very harmful in the long run. It is important to have the guidance of an experienced divorce and family law attorney who can provide you with the assistance you need to avoid these issues. Some mistakes that are commonly made in divorce include:

Failing to hire an attorney- when a person decides to represent themselves in divorce, they may not file papers correctly, miss deadlines, and get the short end of the stick in many factors of the divorce

Misrepresentation of financial information- if an individual fails to disclose accurate information in their statement of net worth, they may be subject to an audit from the Internal Revenue Service which can result in further legal trouble

Posting negative things about your spouse on social media- any time you are involved in a lawsuit, it is important to make sure not to post anything related to the individuals involved in the lawsuit on social media because it can be used against you
